What is One Sitting Degree?

A "single sitting" degree is a program in India that allows students to condense a three-year
bachelor's/Post Graduate degree program into one year/6 months of study. At the end of the
course of study, the student completes exit exams in a single sitting – hence the term single
sitting degree. While at one time single sitting degrees were a recognized educational offering in
India, the single sitting degree has since been discontinued. Unfortunately, students looking for
a quick and easy way to earn a bachelor's degree.

Why Have Single Sitting Degrees Been Discontinued?

In India, a three-year bachelor's degree/PG has become the recognized standard. In order to
complete a three-year bachelor's degree/PG program, students must study at least 15-20 different
subjects and pass a comprehensive exam in each subject. A thesis project in the student's major
area of study must be completed by the end of the third year of study. In contrast, a single sitting
degree must either make an attempt at a program curriculum that includes each of these 12
subjects in just a year, or must compromise degree requirements by teaching fewer subjects or
watering down the exit exams. Neither of these options is considered an acceptable alternative,
leading to the discontinuation of single sitting degree programs.

Alternatives to a Single Sitting Degree

There are a variety of distance learning options that students can utilize in lieu of a single sitting
degree. Accredited colleges and universities offer classes during evenings, weekends, online,
and by mail that a student can plan and complete around an existing work schedule or other
commitments. Distance learning programs are offered in a wide variety of disciplines in the
liberal arts and the sciences. Distance learning requires that a student be highly motivated and
able to study independently while maintaining a self-designed study regimen. Students who
take distance learning classes must discipline themselves, since there is no daily interaction with
students and teachers, nor any requirement to attend classes. For students who are able to self-
direct their studies, distance learning is a good option.
